Macy's is pulling Donald Trump brand merchandise from its stores after the Republican presidential candidate's recent controversial remarks created a public uproar.
The department store has come under intense pressure to cut ties with the real estate magnate and businessman after he referred to immigrants from Mexico and other countries "killers and rapists."
In a statement Wednesday morning, Macy's said the company "stands for diversity" and that it had no tolerance for discrimination.
"We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation," Macy's said. "In light of statements made by Donald Trump, which are inconsistent with Macy's values, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship with Mr. Trump and will phase-out the Trump menswear collection, which has been sold at Macy's since 2004."

****Macy’s said the company “stands for diversity” and that it had no tolerance for discrimination****
Except the diversity of Donalds view, you will discriminate against that!
I dumped Macy’s crap a long long time ago
Never been in a Macy’s & now I’m pretty sure I never want to.
He told the truth and this is what they did.
There is no free speech in this country.
I’ve never given Trump much of a thought, and I certainly would not support him in the primary, but having said that, this fight is getting very entertaining and I think we should back him up in anyway we can.
Macy’s is on the verge of bankruptcy anyway. Who cares?
That red star is there for a reason...
the gay activists have infiltrated and now call the shots in every corner of our society. IMO
So to Macy's, killers and rapists are just part of the diversity rainbow and Trump is a bigot for wanting to keep them out of the USA. Macy's is incredibly stupid.
The Nazi model of Corporate Fascism certainly didn't take long to manifest, did it?
Diversity, the magic word that allows anybody to hide behind and do anything, or justify anything or any behavior.
One day, soon, Liberals will choke on their favorite word, diversity. And it can't come soon enough.
He said if losing Miss Universe was the price he had to pay for telling the truth, he could live with that.
Stuff like this will only boost his popularity.
The libnazi’s have been trying to get Macy’s to dump Trump, for some time, now...

¡Adios, Macys!
So Macy’s is now defending killers and rapists
If they have a contract to buy his stuff, I suggest they honor it. They don’t have to place it on the shelves....but it would be cheaper than the law suit.
I suggest you all stop in Macy’s to look for Donald Trump merchandize and loudly express your displeasure that it is gone.
20 years ago the left complained about how big business runs the country. They infiltrated their boards, their businesses, they got into positions of power and influence and now we are seeing the fruits of their labor.
Anything what Obama and the leaders behind the curtains of the left want the media and big business does their bidding.
Amzon, Walmart, etc no battle flags, but no rainbows are alright. Univision , Macy’s now doing this. If people lke Sarah speaks up then they are viciously attacked by the media which are left wing.
Polls state the majority agree on homosexuals sham marriage and yet I only know a handful who state they are not bothered, but do not endorse it
Macy’s ? That’s still around ?,LOL
“Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation,” Macy’s said.”
How about naming 2 or 3 of them?
